Title: Content delivery
Inventor: STEPHEN APPLEBY
IPC: H04L45/16
Filed: 2019-08-30
Abstract: Client device 304 requests for unicast segments are received at a first network element (308), and subsequently, the requested segments are received at the first element network over unicast (e.g. from 302). Time intervals between requests for each given segment and the size for each given segment are determined. A delivery rate is estimated as a quotient of a total size of the segments and a total of the time intervals associated with the segments. Unicast requests for further segments sent from the client device are received at the first network element. Further segments are then delivered over multicast to the first network element where the multicast rate used to deliver further segments is a function of the estimated delivery rate. Delivery rates may be average delivery rates. Network elements may be proxy servers. Estimated delivery rates may be an average estimated delivery rate from clients requesting same segments. Received segments may comprise specific and common data. Determining size of segments may comprise determining size of common data. Receiving further segments over multicast may comprise delivering common data over multicast using the multicast rate.
